It was the last thing they were expecting to find on a carefree night of frog-gigging...

I just had to do Sacrifice Pawn. He was one of my favorites from 2007. I heard he opted not to participate this year because he put too much stress on himself and his photos in '07 and i know EXACTLY how he feels.

But I love it way too much and I would do it every year given the chance.

jnonfiction says:: I had a Pawn print ready to go, and I just never got around to it. I'm so glad you brought him back from the dead (so to speak). This is fitting.

Ula O cealleigh says:: I miss Sacrifice Pawn too. he is one of my faves from '07

It was a blast participating alongside his & his photos were all to such a high standard. I hope he will cross paths with us again in the future.

Its true that it can be stressfull but i do feel this year has been a lot more relaxed and milder a ride.

Great and worthy bute.. kinged without question & faved.

Thankyou for doing this one bro.

Dschonn says:: I love how similar a shot this is to the original, despite the very different setup.

Dschonn says:: At least I think it's different. Hard to tell with his.

ThatGuy says:: Dude. I love the set up shot. I should take more of those. Sometimes I end up with the weirdest pile of crap just to get everything to sit still where I want it. So great.

And it was totally worth it. Great image.

Ozzy Nelson says:: I got your link man, thanks.
I will definately check it out. I emailed about a welding class today. We'll see how that works out. If nothing else, I will get the basics and find someone else that is good at it.
Thanks for all the advice you have given and what you will soon give.

HiImTerry says:: The set up is clever as all get out. I don't think it would have even occurred to me to set it up that way. I would have been the idiot in a pond in the middle of winter. Well done!

Johnny Rebellious says:: This is fantastic -- and that setup is crazy... I never would have guessed this is how you shot it. A fine job, sir. And for that, a kingly vote!
